Worst possible play in blackjack

This thread has taken a funny turn. I thought I had the worst possible play:

1) bet entire bankroll
2) hit until you break

But you guys have proved me wrong. (markers, bank robbery, Seahwawk bets, Nickelback, and others.)

You guys are damn funny.

How about surrendering Blackjack against dealer non-face?

You'd lose 1/2 your bet, whereas if you double on 20 you have about a 91% chance of busting and losing 4 times as much. And even if the player caught ace the dealer could still push. But you have to weigh losing 1/2 you bet against a guaranteed 3:2 win. The net result is you lose the equilevant of your original wager if you surrender, because you would have been paid 3:2. (but I like hearing about surrendering blackjack--it's certainly a terrible and completely unheard of play).

Actually some games allow you to surrender after doubling - so I'm guessing some doubled 21's are worth more than a BJ (even better if they are a guaranteed winner!). But I don't think they beat the doubling 20.

Hitting a hard 21 or surrendering a blackjack are my guesses.

Edit: Didn't read the "no surrender" rule.

Definitely hitting hard 21 is the worst.

I don't think either of these plays are legal.
